The voter ID requirements are designed to be impossible for a lot of Citizens to meet, in particular it is very common for married women to have a different name on their birth certificate from their current name.

The color photo requiement also means you can't prove citizenship using a recently-issued passport

Black Mississippians won a key ruling last year in a case that challenges how the state elects supreme court justices. But the U.S. Supreme Court may soon weaken the Voting Rights Act and erase their victory.

 

If the federal agents who arrested Columbia student Elaina Aghayeva passed themselves off as local police, city officials need to put a stop to that practice.

Impersonating local police is the one thing that ICE and the Border Patrol had not been doing — they were impersonating utility workers, kidnapping and murdering people, but never ever impersonating local police.

And is in fact doing so. But regular army is much better trained to kill rather than arrest

He's using the National Guard because it's explicitly criminal to use the regular army

What exactly do you call a situation where state militias are using force to prevent armed federal employees dressed in military-style uniforms from attacking the people?

Actually launching a civil war is really really bad. I expect to see it done only after everything else fails

I will note that there is a huge financial incentive to not do that. Instead, they're challenging the federal deployments in court, with some success

You can be good and interesting, like this sewer district

Let's say it halved. That's visible light, which at low wattage, is harmless.

If it quadrupled, its still infrared. Also harmless at those wattages

Remember here: youre dealing with something that is less harmful than visible light. So whatever fear you have must be much worse when it comes to things like daylight, indoor lighting, headlights, etc

Not even the law books; just the government websites which acknowledge that the law exists.

No. They just took the part about there being a law against coins and bills with the image of a living person off the Treasury website.

An explanation of the legislation on an archived page from the Treasury’s website noted that the act “was caused by an uproar over the actions of the chief of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Spencer Clark,” who had “placed himself on a five-cent note and had a large quantity of them printed before it was noticed.”

That webpage has been removed from the Treasury’s website.

Here's the thing: wavelengths shorter than visible light cause cancer. Wavelengths longer...don't. They're using the long wavelengths.

Because if you good things for people, somebody with dark skin or who prays the wrong way might be better off, instead of all the money ending up in billionaires' pockets.

Yeah, but a gun is commercially available, while basically no Americans know how to rig an airbag initiator as a blasting cap
